By combining potential models and QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR), we discuss the spectroscopy of the $(b\bar c)$ mesons and of the $(bcq)$, $(ccq)$ and $(bbq)$ baryons (${q}\equiv {d}$ or $s$), the decay constant and the (semi)leptonic decay…

We investigate the effect of the current measurement of the neutral $B_s$ meson mass difference, $\Delta M_{B_s}$, on SUGRA models which have non-zero values of the soft breaking terms $(m^2_{LL,RR})_{23}$ and $A^{u,d}_{23}$ at the GUT…

The recent experimental data on $D^{+}-D^{0}$ and $D^{\ast\, +}-D^{\ast\,0}$ mass differences are used as inputs in the QCD sum rules to obtain new estimates on the mass difference of light quarks and on the difference of their condensates:…

We present a new analysis of B_d,s -> KK modes within the SM, relating them in a controlled way through SU(3)-flavour symmetry and QCD-improved factorisation. We propose a set of sum rules for B_d,s -> K^0 \bar K^0 observables. We determine…

We calculate the bag parameters for neutral $B$-meson mixing in and beyond the Standard Model, in full four-flavour lattice QCD for the first time. We work on gluon field configurations that include the effect of $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ sea…

We present a comprehensive analysis of the bottom-charmed ($B_c$) meson spectrum within the inverse matrix QCD sum rules formalism. In this framework, conventional QCD sum rules are recast as an inverse problem, allowing for the direct…

We carry out a detailed study of exclusive radiative rare $B$-decays in the framework of the QCD sum rules on the light cone, which combines the traditional QCD sum rule technique with the description of final state vector mesons in terms…

We compute the perturbative corrections to the HQET sum rules for the matrix element of the \Delta B=2 operator that determines the mass shift of $B^0$, $\bar{B}^0$ states. Technically, we obtain analytically the non-factorizable…

A varying external field approach in QCD sum rules is formulated in a systematic way to treat the weak decay form factors and their $q^2$ dependence in the process of $B \to \rho \ell \bar\nu_\ell$. From the form factor sum rules, we can…

We present the first application of QCD light-cone sum rules (LCSRs) with $B_{(s)}$-meson distribution amplitudes to the $B_{(s)}\!\to\! D_{(s)0}^*$ form factors, where $D_{(s)0}^*$ is a charmed scalar meson. We consider two scenarios for…

In this article, we construct the diquark-antidiquark type current operators to study the axialvector $B_c$-like tetraquark states with the QCD sum rules. In calculations, we take the energy scale formula as a powerful constraint to choose…

We re-examine the use of sum rules in the extraction of light quark masses and discuss a number of potential problems with existing analyses. The most important issue is that of the overall normalization of the hadronic spectral functions…

The decays $B_d\to\pi^\mp K^\pm$ and $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm K$ provide interesting constraints on the angle $\gamma$ of the unitarity triangle of the CKM matrix. It is shown that bounds on $\gamma$ can also be obtained from the time evolution of…
